Zirilan may sound like a smash-face general, but in reality he is an impressive rattle-snake with lots of tricks up his sleeve and good at being a "helping hand" without looking too threatening.

Zirilan's dastardly tricks Show

Changeling Berserker-in response to some one trying to kill our favorite shaman, we tutor him up and champion Zirilan, at the end of turn Beserker will be exiled and Zirilan will return, untapped. I use him almost every game.

Worldgorger Dragon- not unlike our friend Beserker, world gorger is handy against wipes, be warned if the dragon is removed in response to his etb effect, our entire battlefield is permanantly exiled.

Hunted Dragon- we are playing politics, flashing in 3 2/2s with first strike when someone tries to kill a player we don't want dead is a powerful political move.

Lightning Shrieker- some people argue that we run enough dragons, but a blocker and attacker that doesn't limit our opptions is nice, typically we grab this dude eot (if you tutor eot then it isn't exiled till the next end-step) if we don't have any more pressing concerns. I we ran more beat-face dragons it could be cut, but all of our other dragons have their uses

Mana-Charged Dragon besides being a powerful political card, we run this dragon as it is the only dragon with colorless firebreathing

Moltensteel Dragon- sometimes you have to win the game, sacrificing the majority of your life to take out a really powerful player can be correct since, even though you have low health, you'll be regarded as a hero, still, be carefull.

Scourge of the Throne- typically zirilan plays politics till one guy is left then pounces on him, Scourge of the Throne on the eot, followed by Dragon Tyrant or Moltensteel Dragon is usually how we do it.

Steel Hellkite- when none of our other answers work

Balefire Dragon- be warned, wiping one players board can draw alot of attention, make sure your using this on a player that makes you look like a hero. also, no trample.

Bogardan Hellkite- the best removal for zirilan, there are others, and I might try some since I use this guy almost every game

Dragon Mage- anti tutoring, be warned, zirilan is inherit card advantage so wheel effects can be disadvantagous, use with care.

Dragon Tyrant- The biggest Dragon ever, throwing this in someone's face for disobeying the will of zirilan can be very demoralizing for your opponent, can draw hate be carefull

Non-Zirilan shenanigans Show

steal stuff: lost of ways to steal stuff, the best is when you steal one players creature to block another's and they both die, again encourages people to leave you alone
